Despite the fact that the range of game consoles is not very wide, the choice is not so simple. This is explained by the fact that each console has many additional accessories other than other set of games and, of course, different specifications. Let's see what modern game monsters are representing, as well as the prefixes of the previous generation, which are still present on the shelves of stores.

The first question that needs to be asked - for which it is planned to buy a console? If the purpose of the console is entertainment on the road or anywhere else outside the house, it is better to stay on the portable version. These include Gameboy Advance, Sega Megadrive Portable and Sony Playstation Portable. These consoles are absolutely mobile, have small sizes and even suitable for network games (if there is a special cable). Choosing one of them, pay attention to the range of games that are produced for each of the consoles - what is suitable for children of younger age, not interesting to teenagers. Be prepared for the fact that without recharging the time of the game will be very limited.

Who plans to play exclusively at home, usually acquires one of the prefixes of a stationary type. These devices are connected to the TV, can be equipped with a joystick, a gun, steering, pedals or special controllers, tracking the player's movements. Although the consoles such as Sega Mega Drive or Dendy are still in demand (mostly acquire them for children), the main struggle for the choice of the buyer goes between the giants of the Game World - Sony Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360. Each of the latter in its own way. It is good, so you should not hurry with a purchase, carefully look at them from all sides.

What are the prefixes of the last generation? These are gaming consoles that are equipped with hard drives, drives and rather powerful processors. Therefore, an important factor with which you have to be reckoned is their high price. In addition to the cost and technical characteristics, the most fundamental differences between them are the availability of online services and an assortment of games.

Nintendo Wii does not affect the imagination with its high manufacturability: the graphics are quite simple and similar in quality with the predecessors of modern consoles, the console can only be used for games and nothing else, and online services have a rather limited view. But it is compact enough, it is interesting for its casual and sports games, especially impressive thanks to a wireless gamepad with a movement controller.

Xbox 360 refers to extra-class packages. It is not surprising, because the console has 3 processors, wireless controllers can work for a long time without recharging, and the graphics are higher than praise. Since Xbox appeared on the market much earlier competitors, the number of games created for this console is impressive. Online service Xbox Live is the best among all possible: after registration, the user gets access to demo games, mods and patches, as well as the opportunity to get into the overall rating of players. True, the service is not free. Another disadvantages of Xbox 360 include a noisy cooling system.

Sony PlayStation 3 is not only a prefix. This is a whole media center for playing video and music, and the built-in browser allows you to view Internet sites. It is impossible not to mark excellent graphics, a hard disk on 20 or 60 GB and the built-in Blue-Ray drive. Among the minuses is not too big base base, the inability to play your own recorded discs and is less functional, compared with Xbox, online service (albeit free).
